Best of luck to you! It sounds like you're going somewhere that really suits you.

I had a house in college and rented two of the rooms out to people. In two successive years I had one room rented to guys with "LDRs." Both of them made it through the year just fine and are now married to the girls. I always hear that people break up because of the distance, but I don't buy it. It looks like you know this, so I'm sure that you two will be fine. I hope you come to an agreement on where you want to live afterwards.
